Guest Speakers to Emphasize
Christian Dynamic Significance
Aski.L4Avd,teilt,
Ninety-one years after its be-ginning,
Bethel's commemorative
Founders Week can look ahead to
an expansive, promising future.
by Judy Dow
"The Christian dynamic is ulti-mately
more influential in shaping
the issues that matter than all
physical energy known to science,"
stated President Lundquist in his
introduction of the 1962 Founders
Week conference, "The Christian
Dynamic in a Nuclear World."
Approximately 1700 pastors,
missionaries, and interested per-sons
are expected to attend the
annual week-long conference, which
has gradually been developing into
a program seeking to find a whole-some
blend between current evan-gelical
scholarship and devotional
emphasis.
The conference will host such
well-known guest participants as
Vernon C. Grounds, Harold J.
Ockinga, Paul S. Rees, and Wilbur
M. Smith.
Vernon C. Grounds, Ph.D., presi-dent
of the Conservative Baptist
Theological Seminary in Denver,
Colorado, is to speak Wednesday,
Feb. 21, at 2 p.m. on the Dynamic
of Expendibility and also at the
7:30 p.m. inspirational rally.
"The Dynamic of Missions" is the
theme of the message to be given
by Harold J. Ockinga, Ph.D., pas-tor
of Park Street church, Boston,
Massachusetts, and president of
Fuller Theological seminary in
Pasadena, California, at 2 p.m.
Friday. He will also speak at the
7:30 p.m. rally that evening.
The vice-president at large of
World Vision, Inc., Paul S. Rees,
D.D., is to speak Tuesday at the
devotional hour at 8 a.m. and again
at the 7:30 p.m. inspirational rally.
Wilbur M Smith, D.D., professor
of English Bible at Fuller Theo-logical
seminary, Pasadena, Calif-ornia,
will speak every day at the
all-campus Bible study at 10 a.m.,
and at the '7:30 p.m. inspirational
rally Thursday.
"The Dynamic of Compassion"
will be the theme of W. Robert
Smith's message at 2 p.m. Wed-nesday.
Robert Featherstone will
speak on "The Dynamic of Stew-ardship"
on Thursday at 2 p.m.
Panel discussions by faculty
members each day will deal with
such topics as "The Atom in our
World," "Moral Dimensions of Nu-clear
Testing in our World," and
"The Power Struggle in our
World."
The evening inspirational rallies
will feature not only guest speak-ers
but also musical groups includ-ing
the band, male chorus, string
ensemble, festival chorus, college
choir, and massed Twin Cities

SPAN Presents Unique Opportunities
For Bethel Students to Study Abroad
The "Dynamic of Godly Lives,"
an address on three of Bethel's
historical personalities, is the focal
point of the annual historical ban-quet,
the first main event of Foun-ders
Week, Monday, Feb. 19, at
6:30 p.m. The banquet is also the
scene of the recognition of staff
members and the presentation of
service awards.
Speaker Lloyd W. Dahlquist,
conference general secretary, will
focus his talk on the influences of
these mission-minded men in the
transition period before the con-ference
initiated a missions board
in 1944.
Comprising the theme of the talk
are the lives of Rev. Avid Gordh,
principal of the academy from 1905
to 1912, dean of the seminary from
1922 to 1925, and teacher from
1920-1940; Karl J. Karlson, dean
of the seminary 1925 to 1948 and
teacher of practical theology; and
Adolph Olson, who at some point
during his 36 years at Bethel
taught every course in the semin-ary
except Hebrew.
Staff members to be recognized
and awarded for fifteen years of

service at this year's banquet are
Milford Carlson, bursar, and Jean
Lindblom, faculty secretary.
Robert Glaser, Russell Johnson,
Virgil Olson, W. R. Smith, faculty
members, and Edna Schultz, act-ing
registrar, will be awarded for
ten years of service.

When 400 out of approximately
2000 applicants across the United
States were awarded National Sci-ence

Fellowships, Mr. Claude Stipe, as-sistant
professor of anthropology
at Bethel college, was among the
recipients.
These fellowships, sponsored by
the government, are designed to
give college science teachers an op-portunity
for further study. Mr.
Stipe, who will spend next year
studying at the University of Min-nesota,
will receive an amount
equal to his salaried income for

work will center around the field
of human genetics and statistics,
including statistical methods in so-cial
research. He also plans to take

dependent study opportunities for
its selected students.
After being selected, a student
spends a year in preparation for
visiting a specific foreign country,
studying history, culture, current
problems, and language, as well as
being briefed on American politi-cal
and social problems. During the
first year, a SPANner also does
preliminary work for a study pro-ject
which he will complete abroad
and which will eventually earn him
eight semester credits.
Traveling to his host country in
June, each student spends eight
weeks working on his project. This
may include interviews, visits to
appropriate institutions, documen-tary
investigations, or living with
families. The remaining four weeks
are spent in travel.

Lectureship
Inaugurated
The convocation committee has
announced its sponsorship of a
Bethel lectureship to begin in the
fall of 1962. The committee, work-ing
with the appropriate senate
councils, will select the lecturer
from proposals submitted to them
before Apr. 1, 1962.
Initiative for the lectureship
rests with any interested person,
group, or department on campus.
These persons shall nominate a
lecturer, the topics to be discussed,
and the types of audiences intend-ed
for the various sessions.
The lecturer, who would remain
on campus for a longer time than
a convocation speaker, would de-liver
a convocation address, but
the majority of his time would be
spent speaking before joint classes
or interested groups.
Criteria for the committee's
choice will include the interest and
timeliness of the topic, the number
of persons and groups directly con-cerned,
and the capacities and cre-dentials
of the lecturer.

Highlights Annual Banquet
Revue
Editorials:
Special Week Anticipated The influx of approximately 1,000 people during Founders Week is
somewhat disruptive for both students and visitors because of limited
facilities. However, this year inconveniences will be less noticeable with
the promise of a new campus in the relatively near future.
It is hoped that each person attending the week's activities will find
them educationally broadening as well as spiritually stimulating and
socially enjoyable.
Even though students' time is limited by continued classroom respon-sibilities,
they are urged to utilize the opportunities for interaction wth
the prominent Christian leaders visiting the campus.
Possibilities Envisioned
In SPAN, Lectureship Although there is no premeditation involved, it happens that the
CLARION has nothing but plaudits to hand out in this Founders Week
issue.
Congratulations are definitely in order for the Bethel faculty deci-sion
to join SPAN. Encouragement of student interest in studying abroad
has been rather neglected and this positive move may herald a new era
in educational experiences for Bethel students.
The many advantages of the SPAN program are difficult to enum-erate.
To the student chosen to spend the summer abroad, the experience
fosters increased understanding of his own culture and its relationship
to the problems and culture of the country he has studied. For a Chris-tian
who has international obligations, intensive work with another cul-ture
may be invaluable. A bonus effect of the study abroad may be
greater maturity with which to use the insights gained. In addition, most
students return with a working knowledge of a foreign language and
may earn college credit upon completion of the study project.
Although students must pay a large share of their expenses, many
have found that the benefits of the program are avluable enough to bor-row
the needed funds in order to participate.
The deadline date is rapidly approaching so students must seriously
consider their future plans to decide if SPAN should be included in them.
* *
Mention must also be made of the newly announced Bethel lecture-ship.
The possibilities of such a program are exciting to contemplate.
One of the interesting features of the proposal is the decision of the
convocation committee to place the initiative for locating the speaker and
planning the program with any person or group on campus. This may
place the responsibility for success or failure of the program squarely
where it belongs.

Bethel Students Eligible
For NSA Exchange
by Paul Johnson
The University of Minnesota Con-cert
Band Ensemble, in concert at
Bethel on the evening of Feb. 6,
substantiated Mr. Whittinger's in-troduction
as "one of the truly
great bands of the country"—and
also proved that concert band mu-sic
can be an exciting experience.
The fifty-member ensemble at-tained
a fullness of orchestral son-ority
that might have been expect-ed
only of a larger group. Melodic
and tonal balance was maintained
throughout, demonstrating both
subtle and bold harmonic intri-cacies.
Complex rhythmical pat-terns
were executed with outstand-ing
precision.
A more formal format might
have been expected. At times the
informality detracted from the
more serious quality of the music,
i.e. the piccolo player's cross-legged
disinterest during Handel's "Con-certo
Grosso." Generally, the cas-ual
approach created a congenial,
sympathetic rapport between aud-ience
and musicians. This, in turn,
evoked from the listeners a higher
degree of aesthetic involvement in
the music as it was being perform-ed.
Dr. Frank Bencriscutto conducted
and moderated the concert, which
opened with the "Roman Carnival"
by the early nineteenth century
realist Berlioz. This energetic mu-sical
painting was highlighted by
the very capable English horn solo
work of Miss Philis Blood and the
lively interplay of the various in-strumental
sections. Rhythmic com-plexities,
instrumental interplay,
and dramatic contrasts made Hart-ley's
"Rondo for Winds and Per-cussion"
an exciting and stimulat-ing
experience.
The thematic variation of con-temporary
composer Morton Gould
and the pure, relaxing melodic sim-plicity
of Gian Carlo Menotti kept
the well-varied presentation at an
untiring pace. Minor raggedness
in the accompaniment did not de-tract
from the obvious mechanical
proficiency of the clarinet trio in
Handel's "Concerto Grosso." The
majesty one expects in a compo-sition
by Bach pervaded the per-formance
of "If Thou Be Near,"
built on a firm, rich foundation of
low brass.
Music in a lighter vein was also
well represented. Clarinetist Peter
Vollmers displayed a fine baritone
voice—in spite of the overzealous
band accompaniment—on Bencris-cutto's
arrangement of "September
Song." The performance of the
"Sound of Music Medley" caught
the romantic spirit of the song.
Marches of the traditional classi-cal,
and concert forms were spirit-edly
performed. Particularly stir-ring
was the "Marche Militaire
Francaise," which exhibited mech-anical
proficiency in all sections.
A highlight of the evening was
the conductor's composition, "Meta-morphosis"
— an instrumental re-counting
of the unfolding of a life.
Section one, "Childhood" captured
both the innocent beauty and play-fulness
of youth. Confusion, strug-gle,
and romance, depicted in
"Adolescence" led into the majesty
of "Maturity." This highly emo-tional
piece brought into clear
focus the musical competency of
both the composer-conductor and
the ensemble.

On Feb. 6, President Charles
De Gaulle gave a television report
to the French nation, covering the
entire range of domestic and for-eign
policy. This latest message
was noteworthy in that it was
couched in less Delphic language
than is sometimes the General's
wont. The speech was most re-markable,
however, in the conci-sion
with which the twin goals of
his policy were outlined in the
name of grandeur.
For the sake of political gran-deur,
De Gaulle would have France
assume the leadership of what he
sometimes calls "a Europe of na-tions"
capable of speaking as a
superpower, while for the sake of
moral grandeur, he would have
France complete the arduous pro-cess
of de-colonization by granting
Algeria its freedom.
Very shortly after the speech
was given, the OAS (Secret Army
Organization) reacted to the pro-posals
with increased violence. De
Gaulle, in turn, threatened to use
dictatorial powers against the rebel
group, a right granted him under
the new constitution written when
he assumed the presidency in 1958.
De Gaulle's chances of achieving
his goals are not by any means
An unusual exchange program
has been instituted by the United
States National Student Associa-tion
(NSA). Selected students will
spend a week studying, observing,
meeting students, and visiting at
Tougaloo Southern Christian Col-lege
in Mississippi.
Tougaloo is one of the few fully
accredited institutions of higher
education which Negroes can at-tend.
The college has always main-tained
an integrated faculty and
admissions policy, drawing most
of its 500 students from Mississippi.
auspicious. His political grandeur
may prove quite as difficult, if less
dramatically arduous, to attain than
his moral grandeur in Algeria. But
no one can complain that De Gaulle
lacks a policy or that he isn't
trying to realize it.
Since De Gaulle was so explicit
in his hopes and plans, we are
drawn to a close examination of
his message in the desire to glean
some indications of the events
which are going to transpire in the
days ahead.
Much was inferred which has
bearing on future negotiations for
nuclear disarmament. We must re-member
that De Gaulle hopes to
make France the only independent
nuclear power on the continent
west of Russia, thus gaining ascen-dancy
over other Western Euro-pean
lands.
Many allied generals and states-men
argue that this is folly, that
France can never hope to create a
sufficiently powerful striking force
to impress the USSR. At best its
deterrent value, obtained at vast
cost, would be limited to a counter-city
threat. (Sulzberger)
This all is an important factor
for President Kennedy's considera-tion
in his present efforts to man-euver
Russia into a corner on the

atmospheric question as he strives
for a breakthrough for an effective
nuclear test ban. (Dispatch)
The whole world also watches an-xiously
for the climax of the vio-lent
drama in Algeria as optimistic
possibilities present themselves for
an agreement between De Gaulle
and the FLN (Algerian party).
French government contacts with
the Moslem rebels have not been
officially acknowledged by either
side, but is is an open secret that
a cease-fire and an agreement
leading to independence await only
the resolution of certain details of
the accession of a million Euro-peans
of Algeria to citizenship in
the new state and the organization
and duration of a transitional re-gime.
(Times, Feb. 5)
The FLN has recently tempered
its proposals for complete inde-pendence
and has become more
sympathetic to the possibility of a
Franco-Algerian consortium inclu-sive
of Algerian autonomy. This
results out of their fear of being
excluded from the recently insti-tuted
Common Market. Algerian
high officials are becoming in-creasingly
aware that their free-dom
could easily result only in a
freedom to starve.
De Gaulle also seems to be try-ing
to force the hand of the FLN
by publicizing his intention to im-pose
his own solution on Algeria
if an agreement with the FLN is
not reached in the next few weeks.
His solution is based on a regroup-ment
of the French settlers along
the coast (a kind of temporary
partition) as a first step to bring-ing
many of them back to France,
and on a setting up of an Algerian
executive with a Muslim majority.
Looking into the future it has
been strongly hinted that, once the
Algerian problem is settled, Presi-dent
De Gaulle will dissolve the
National Assembly and call for new
elections to take advantage of the
wave of popularity he expects to
follow the end of the war.
Before such a grand outcome is
seen, however, I foresee many
headlines dealing with riots in
France instigated by yet another
force with vested interests—the
Communists.
This last week saw a "Red-pro-voked"
general strike in Paris
which is a precursor of more to
follow. The demonstration was held
under the guise of a protest for
more positive action against the
OAS (party of Algerian colons).
But the actual motivation for ag-gravating
the situation arises out
of a Communist desire for a full-scale
civil war. Their reasoning
sees Communism's own power en-hanced
relative to all of the other
forces, which would be thereby
weakened.

Bethel Theological Seminary is
approaching the completion of its
application for accreditation by
the American Association of Theo-logical
Schools.
Four years ago an application
was made for associate member-ship,
and since then the seminary
has been reviewed by three visit-ing
teams from the AATS. The
seminary at present has been re-quested
to complete the "long
form," one of the final steps to-ward
accreditation.
During the next academic year,
another team of members of the
Association will visit the campus
for a final examination, and the re-sult
will be announced in the spring
of 1963.
Seminary accreditation was not
attempted previously due to an
AATS ruling which required that
15% of the student body come
from an accredited college. As a
larger percentage than this came
from Bethel college, seminary ac-creditation
was dependent upon
that of the college.

Placement Help
The student affairs office is of-fering
a free teacher-placement
service to all qualified graduating
seniors and alumni. Those wishing
placement for the 1962-63 school
year must file reference and per-sonal
history forms with the office
by Mar. 1, 1962.
A legitimate B.A. degree and the
completion of prescribed courses
in education insure automatic cer-tification
to teach by the state of
Minnesota. Currently, the only po-sitions
offered are on the junior
and senior high levels.
The heaviest demands for teach-ers
are in the areas of English,
physics, chemistry, women's physi-cal
education and languages. Tra-ditionally,
first year teachers are
placed outside the Twin Cities area,
depending on the applicant's major
field.
Students not planning to go dir-ectly
into teaching after gradua-tion
are also encouraged to file
references and credentials with the
student affairs office.
The current National Defense
graduate fellowships brochure is
now available in the student affairs
office to graduating seniors inter-ested
in scholarships for graduate
study.
Listed by areas of study and by
schools, the scholarships are usu-ally
awarded for three years, the
stipend increasing with each year.
Students should apply directly to
the schools by Mar. 6 for awards
which will be announced by Mar.
20, 1962.

cause man is a finite being who is
capable of spirituality. As a spirit-ual
being, he seeks to find the
meaning of life, but because of his
finiteness every meaning he finds
is threatened. This struggle for
meaning gives rise to anxiety which
in turn gives rise to sin.
Man is kept in this paradox—
this dialectic—between his finite
existence and his infinite capabili-ties.
His anxiety arises out of the
paradox. "Anxiety is the inevitable
concomitant of the paradox of
freedom and finiteness in which
man is involved. Anxiety is the in-ternal
pre-condition of sin. It is the
inevitable spiritual state of man
standing in the paradoxical situa-tion
of freedom and finiteness. An-xiety
is the internal description of
the state of temptation."
To overcome this state of an-xiety,
man can react in two ways,
both of which are sinful. He may
sin into carnal sensuality, or he
may assert himself in pride. In his
pride, he refuses to recognize his
finiteness and claims for himself
that which belongs to God alone.
This arrogant self-assertion in
which he claims infinite and spirit-ual
worth is sin.
Niebuhr recognizes three kinds
of pride: pride of knowledge, pride
of power, and moral pride. Each
of these are self-assertions of

E. Schultz Announces
Honor Student List
Eugene Johnson. This is the first
time a project of this nature has
been attempted by Bethel's art de-partment.
The classes will be divided into
four groups: pre-school, ages 6-8,
ages 9-11, and junior high age. The
14 students from the arts course
who will be participating as in-structors
will have an opportunity
to work with each of the age
groups.
The honor roll for first semester,
1961-62, was announced last week
by Edna Schultz, acting registrar.
According to Miss Schultz, each
student on the list has been carry-ing
at least twelve academic cred-its.
Earning "A" honors are Robert
Beckstrom, Sharon Dickau, June
ON REALITY
What is reality?—
That thing which
Haggard humanity grasps
As its focal point.
Does it really exist?—
Or is it just a temporary
Flash in the great
Cosmos of eternity.
Some will say,
"Fact, that is reality."
But I ask, "What is fact?—
But yesterday's theory,
Tomorrow's fallacy?"
Others will say,
"Life, that surely is reality.",
But I again ask, "What is
life?—
Merely a series of beginnings
And ends and meaningless mo-tion."
Scholarship award winners have
been named for the second semes-ter.

Democracy Threatened by Interference
Of Military Leadership in Policy-making
by Barbara Carlson
The "Little Gallery" Coffee Shop
has presented, in past months,
many fine exhibits. They have
been enjoyed by the casual observer
as well as the art connoisseur.
However, in my estimation, the
current exhibit is the most out-standing
to date. The artist is
Keith Havens, whose schooling in-cluded
The Minneapolis School of
Art.
Spending his summers in nor-thern
Minnesota drawing and
painting the rock formations, rush-ing
streams, and "standing dead"
of the forests, Mr. Havens makes
careful study of the basic elements
in nature. But he is not bound by
a traditional representation of na-ture.
Apart from definite symbolic
associations, his subjects stand as
extraordinary compositions in
themselves.
I believe his attention to the
fundamental forms is clearly mani-fested
in his work. There is a cer-tain
order and completeness which
shows to advantage his profound
ability to capture these compon-ents
of our perfectly created uni-verse
in oil paint and charcoal. This
feeling emanates from his paint-ings
by his use of constructed
shapes and rhythm of movement.
The intregal parts of his paintings
have a vibrancy and rhythm in
themselves while working together
to achieve a total effect as in his
"Silent Transmutation." (see a-bove)
In this painting there is a sense
of inward pressure exerted by rock
formations. At the same time, the
painting possesses the feeling of
growth and expansion which is in
direct relation to his subject's char-acteristics.
By his mere choice of
titles, his awareness of this con-stantly
changing nature is appar-ent.
Keith Haven's charcoal drawings
do not lack any of the excitement
and uniqueness of his oil paintings.
His deft handling of value rela-tionships
adds to the already inter-esting
compositions in line and
shape.
In the coming months, we have
much to look forward to, if this
showing is any indication of future
exhibits at Bethel.

Elsewhere in this issue, Gary
Scull writes about the problems
France has with Algeria. From
watching France agonize through
these crises, some lessons can be
learned by Western democracies.
Foremost among these lessons is
one which comes at an opportune
time for the United States. It is
this: a democracy cannot permit
the military to fashion its basic
policies.
Look at France! Just when its
elected president needs cool nerves
and steady, very strong hand to
end the civil war, many in his mili-tary
staff begin subversive action
against him. With bombs explod-ing
from the Sahara to Paris, with

Writing Award
To Be Given
The Robert Campbell Writing
Award, given annually to those stu-dents
who have had outstanding
material published during the cur-rent
year, is being awarded for
the second consecutive year. The
winner will receive $50, and the
runner-up will receive $25.
Any material published in maga-zines,
newspapers, Sunday School
pamphlets, etc., before April 16,
1962, will be considered. Any un-published
material written by a
student should be submitted for
publication now, or as soon as pos-sible,
as the published material
itself must be received by the Eng-lish
department by April 16.
The original purpose of the a-ward,
as set up by Robert Camp-bell,
was to encourage the writing
of Christian literature for publica-tion
in secular and Christian per-iodicals.

riots sweeping innocents to their
death, with political strikes threat-ened
by the temporary union of
Catholic and Communist labor un-ions,
the head of state supported
by a strong majority in the Na-tional
Assembly cannot be sure he
can rely on his final source of
power—the army.
Of course, one need not shed
tears for De Gauule. Tears should
be saved for the people of France.
De Gaulle came to power in 1958
because the army had told the
government that it was De Gaulle
or revolution. De Gaulle played his
part in letting the military have
its way. Now he finds that gener-als
once successful in politics are
likely to play the game again.
The lesson should be clear. When
the military becomes the master
instead of the servant, power gravi-tates
from the democratically elect-ed
officials to that section of the
officer class which can act boldly
and temporally count on the disci-pline
it has created in the rank and
file. Presidents, legislators and
judges do not pack guns. Generals
not only do, but their subordinates
do also.
Americans would do well to
think on France as they wonder if
General Walker should have been
disciplined by the Pentagon. If
they do, they will applaud the de-cision
that helped send the General
back to try for legal power at the
ballot box in Texas.
From Napoleon to De Gaulle by
way of a score or more corpses
of democracies, we have seen that
however necessary the military is,
it is a potential threat to demo-cratic
government. Therefore,
democracies must make the mili-tary
as politically neutral as pos-sible.
High military officers must be
kept strictly subordinated to the
commander-in-chief, who is alone
finally responsible to the people
and Congress, for whom he consti-tutionally
acts. When officers
speak, write and educate the troops
they must do it as the scrupulously
loyal servants of an acknowledged
superior.
But, some protest, do not offi-cers
have freedom of speech ? The
answer ought to be clear! As offi-cers,
no! No more than does the
private who stands in the ranks.
Where in annals of military his-tory
have officers taught that
military personnel can debate
points of policy ? Imagine the sit-uation
when "Sad Sack" contends
that at this time the order to
charge is ill advised. An officer
answers such free speech with im-mediate
force, if necessary.
If the officer must speak, he can
resign. Then let him try for power
in ways that befit democracy.

Bethel Drops
Northland
Game, 56-65
An eight-minute scoring drought
plus the hot hand of Jack Povaser
and the all-around play of Frank
Hunter spelled defeat for Bethel
Tuesday night as the Royals were
submerged 65-56 by the Northland
Lumberjacks. The win extended
Northland's league-leading Badger-
Gopher conference mark to 8-0
while the Royals dropped below
.500 at 3-4.
It looked as if Bethel might get
the breaks for a change when Po-vaser,
8th in the nation with a 29-
point average, incurred his third
foul with 9:45 left in the first half.
Bethel seemingly didn't want the
breaks however, as they were
guilty of numerous violations and
defensive lapses. The 'Jacks went
to the dressing room with a 38-35
halftime lead, Povaser counting 21
of their first half points including
10 of 14 attempts from the field.
The Royals came on strong at
the beginning of the second half,
and two quick baskets by Dan
Westerlund finally tied the score
at 44 with 14:10 remaining. This
was to be the Royal's last point
until Westerlund would score again
with 6:13 remaining.
It was the old story of not
enough height combined with cold
shooting. Phil Bolinder and Jan
Kolbrek both rebounded well, but
it simply was not enough against
the 6'7" Hunter and 6'4 Tom Fri-zell.
Hunter was also a terror on
defense as he bocked at least seven
shots from close range in the sec-ond
half.
Povaser led all scorers with 27
points, while Hunter added 19 for
the winners. Bajuniemi played an
outstanding game and led Bethel
scoring with 24 points while Wes-terlund
collected 17. Northland
shot 41 % from the field while
Bethel managed only 22 of 69 shots
for 32%.
The Fighting Muskie skyscrapers
of Lakeland's Bob Griggas proved
to be too much for the Bethel
Royals as the Wisconsin school
upped their Badger-Gopher record
to 6-1 with a 107-92 win last Fri-day.
The likes of 6'10" Wes Seyller,
6'7" Dean Sandifer, and 6'6 Em-ery
Holbert were too much for the
scrappy but short Bethelites.
Again, however, it was 5'11"
John Bell who led the scoring for
the winners with 21 points. Bell
tallied 31 in the first meeting of
the schools, won by Lakeland 90-
79. Seyller tallied 19 while San-difer
and Sammy Forrest each col-lected
16. Dan Westerlund led all
scorers with 24 points, while Jan
Kolbrek poured through 21.

The intramural program contin-ues
to buzz with activity as the
basketball program enters its last
three rounds of competition with
volleyball, ping-pong, and badmin-ton
to follow immediately.
The basketball games of Feb.
5-9 produced some unique happen-ings
including a 38-point effort by
Coach Gerald (machine-gun) Healy
in a losing effort. This is the high
individual effort for the season.
The seminary continued its spot-less
record with a 56-35 win over
the under-manned Dukes. Howie
Rekstad led the winners with 20
points. The Counts nipped Curt
Hallstrom's Squires 49-48 with

Since there are no Beadle or Northwestern games to reflect upon,
the column this time will be a rather unorganized polyglot of fact,
opinions, and other material guaranteed to occupy space.
The between-semester ski trip was a sliding success . . . the group
stayed at the Salem Baptist Church in Ashland, Wis., and some of
the group participated in the Sunday evening service . . . a total of
about 35 students and faculty members endured the jolting journey in
the school bus and two private cars . . . one of the cars did have over-drive
according to Coach Glader . . . Glader also reports that there
were many broken skis but no broken bones . . . as the business office
breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking ahead to the golf season we find that Don Mattson and
James (Higsby) Hultgren, two of Coach Healy s top prospects, are
academically ineligible—but we still have Denny Johnson!
The wrestling team is also having eligibility problems in the persons
of Bob Baffa and Mike Miller ... which is all too bad but what else
can you expect in a low-pressure athletic program ? They lost at River
Falls Feb. 9 after giving Macalester B a rough go of it the previous
week, before losing a close one ... Paul Sloan, Paul Anderson, and Miller
were victorious in the Mac meet.
The B basketball team is also having its problems which started
Jan. 18 with a 53-27 defeat from Macalester ... a rebound against Min-nesota
Bible College produced a 51-39 win with Roger Olson's 11 points
being high ... a combination of Northi,vestern's A and B squads was
sufficient to inflict a 52-47 setback on Coach Glader's charges and the
losing habit continued with a 74-64 loss from Minnesota School of
Business ... Dan Travaille, a last-minute addition to the squad, scored
14 while Bruce Erickson had 13.
Bethel Joins Fraternity ■
Sprinkel Named Prexy
by Rick McNamara
A fraternity ? At Bethel ? Be-lieve-
it-or-not, it has happened.
Bethel College recently became the
126th school to join the Sigma
Delta Psi National Athletic Fra-ternity.
The Bethel chapter, designated
as Epsilon Beta, awarded five hon-orary
memberships to establish a
foundation for the organization.
President of the local chapter is
Eugene Sprinkel, with Owen Hal-leen
as vice-president, Jerry Healy
as secretary-treasurer, Gene Glader
as faculty patron, and Phillip Carl-son
as the "fifth member."
Active membership is composed
of those who possess the necessary
all-around athletic skill to pass the
14 rigid tests. The 15th require-ment
is a scholastic standing which
would enable the person to be eli-gible
for varsity competition.
Glader reports that the chapter
is planning a "day" sometime in
February or March for those in-terested
in attempting the skill
tests. As an indication of the dif-ficulty
of the requirements, Glader
pointed out that the University of
Minnesota chapter has passed only
an average of two per year since
their group was established in
1914. Other Minnesota schools with
chapters include Macalester, Con-cordia,
and St. Olaf.
Glader feels that the chapter
will stimulate and improve the
physical fitness level of both fac-ulty
members and students. He
feels that it "presents a well-estab-lished
set of norms in various skills
which makes it possible for all to
see where they stand in relation to
others in athletic ability and over-all
physical fitness."
In addition to the special days
set aside for testing, Glader, Hal-leen,
and Healy will also pass an
individual on any specific test at
any time previous arrangements
are made.

Guest Speakers to Emphasize
Christian Dynamic Significance
Aski.L4Avd,teilt,
Ninety-one years after its be-ginning,
Bethel's commemorative
Founders Week can look ahead to
an expansive, promising future.
by Judy Dow
"The Christian dynamic is ulti-mately
more influential in shaping
the issues that matter than all
physical energy known to science,"
stated President Lundquist in his
introduction of the 1962 Founders
Week conference, "The Christian
Dynamic in a Nuclear World."
Approximately 1700 pastors,
missionaries, and interested per-sons
are expected to attend the
annual week-long conference, which
has gradually been developing into
a program seeking to find a whole-some
blend between current evan-gelical
scholarship and devotional
emphasis.
The conference will host such
well-known guest participants as
Vernon C. Grounds, Harold J.
Ockinga, Paul S. Rees, and Wilbur
M. Smith.
Vernon C. Grounds, Ph.D., presi-dent
of the Conservative Baptist
Theological Seminary in Denver,
Colorado, is to speak Wednesday,
Feb. 21, at 2 p.m. on the Dynamic
of Expendibility and also at the
7:30 p.m. inspirational rally.
"The Dynamic of Missions" is the
theme of the message to be given
by Harold J. Ockinga, Ph.D., pas-tor
of Park Street church, Boston,
Massachusetts, and president of
Fuller Theological seminary in
Pasadena, California, at 2 p.m.
Friday. He will also speak at the
7:30 p.m. rally that evening.
The vice-president at large of
World Vision, Inc., Paul S. Rees,
D.D., is to speak Tuesday at the
devotional hour at 8 a.m. and again
at the 7:30 p.m. inspirational rally.
Wilbur M Smith, D.D., professor
of English Bible at Fuller Theo-logical
seminary, Pasadena, Calif-ornia,
will speak every day at the
all-campus Bible study at 10 a.m.,
and at the '7:30 p.m. inspirational
rally Thursday.
"The Dynamic of Compassion"
will be the theme of W. Robert
Smith's message at 2 p.m. Wed-nesday.

SPAN Presents Unique Opportunities
For Bethel Students to Study Abroad
The "Dynamic of Godly Lives,"
an address on three of Bethel's
historical personalities, is the focal
point of the annual historical ban-quet,
the first main event of Foun-ders
Week, Monday, Feb. 19, at
6:30 p.m. The banquet is also the
scene of the recognition of staff
members and the presentation of
service awards.
Speaker Lloyd W. Dahlquist,
conference general secretary, will
focus his talk on the influences of
these mission-minded men in the
transition period before the con-ference
initiated a missions board
in 1944.
Comprising the theme of the talk
are the lives of Rev. Avid Gordh,
principal of the academy from 1905
to 1912, dean of the seminary from
1922 to 1925, and teacher from
1920-1940; Karl J. Karlson, dean
of the seminary 1925 to 1948 and
teacher of practical theology; and
Adolph Olson, who at some point
during his 36 years at Bethel
taught every course in the semin-ary
except Hebrew.
Staff members to be recognized
and awarded for fifteen years of

service at this year's banquet are
Milford Carlson, bursar, and Jean
Lindblom, faculty secretary.
Robert Glaser, Russell Johnson,

members, and Edna Schultz, act-ing
registrar, will be awarded for
ten years of service.

2000 applicants across the United
States were awarded National Sci-ence

Fellowships, Mr. Claude Stipe, as-sistant
professor of anthropology
at Bethel college, was among the
recipients.
These fellowships, sponsored by
the government, are designed to
give college science teachers an op-portunity

Stipe, who will spend next year
studying at the University of Min-nesota,
will receive an amount

At some future time he plans to

year to eighteen months.
During next year, Mr. Stipe's
work will center around the field
of human genetics and statistics,
including statistical methods in so-cial
research. He also plans to take

dependent study opportunities for
its selected students.
After being selected, a student
spends a year in preparation for
visiting a specific foreign country,
studying history, culture, current
problems, and language, as well as
being briefed on American politi-cal
and social problems. During the
first year, a SPANner also does
preliminary work for a study pro-ject
which he will complete abroad
and which will eventually earn him
eight semester credits.
Traveling to his host country in
June, each student spends eight
weeks working on his project. This
may include interviews, visits to
appropriate institutions, documen-tary
investigations, or living with
families. The remaining four weeks
are spent in travel.

Lectureship
Inaugurated
The convocation committee has
announced its sponsorship of a
Bethel lectureship to begin in the
fall of 1962. The committee, work-ing
with the appropriate senate
councils, will select the lecturer
from proposals submitted to them
before Apr. 1, 1962.
Initiative for the lectureship
rests with any interested person,
group, or department on campus.
These persons shall nominate a
lecturer, the topics to be discussed,
and the types of audiences intend-ed
for the various sessions.
The lecturer, who would remain
on campus for a longer time than
a convocation speaker, would de-liver
a convocation address, but
the majority of his time would be
spent speaking before joint classes
or interested groups.
Criteria for the committee's
choice will include the interest and
timeliness of the topic, the number
of persons and groups directly con-cerned,
and the capacities and cre-dentials
of the lecturer.

Highlights Annual Banquet
Revue
Editorials:
Special Week Anticipated The influx of approximately 1,000 people during Founders Week is
somewhat disruptive for both students and visitors because of limited
facilities. However, this year inconveniences will be less noticeable with
the promise of a new campus in the relatively near future.
It is hoped that each person attending the week's activities will find
them educationally broadening as well as spiritually stimulating and
socially enjoyable.
Even though students' time is limited by continued classroom respon-sibilities,
they are urged to utilize the opportunities for interaction wth
the prominent Christian leaders visiting the campus.
Possibilities Envisioned
In SPAN, Lectureship Although there is no premeditation involved, it happens that the
CLARION has nothing but plaudits to hand out in this Founders Week
issue.
Congratulations are definitely in order for the Bethel faculty deci-sion
to join SPAN. Encouragement of student interest in studying abroad
has been rather neglected and this positive move may herald a new era
in educational experiences for Bethel students.
The many advantages of the SPAN program are difficult to enum-erate.
To the student chosen to spend the summer abroad, the experience
fosters increased understanding of his own culture and its relationship
to the problems and culture of the country he has studied. For a Chris-tian
who has international obligations, intensive work with another cul-ture
may be invaluable. A bonus effect of the study abroad may be
greater maturity with which to use the insights gained. In addition, most
students return with a working knowledge of a foreign language and
may earn college credit upon completion of the study project.
Although students must pay a large share of their expenses, many
have found that the benefits of the program are avluable enough to bor-row
the needed funds in order to participate.
The deadline date is rapidly approaching so students must seriously
consider their future plans to decide if SPAN should be included in them.
* *
Mention must also be made of the newly announced Bethel lecture-ship.
The possibilities of such a program are exciting to contemplate.
One of the interesting features of the proposal is the decision of the
convocation committee to place the initiative for locating the speaker and
planning the program with any person or group on campus. This may
place the responsibility for success or failure of the program squarely
where it belongs.

Bethel Students Eligible

by Paul Johnson
The University of Minnesota Con-cert
Band Ensemble, in concert at
Bethel on the evening of Feb. 6,
substantiated Mr. Whittinger's in-troduction
as "one of the truly
great bands of the country"—and
also proved that concert band mu-sic
can be an exciting experience.
The fifty-member ensemble at-tained
a fullness of orchestral son-ority
that might have been expect-ed
only of a larger group. Melodic
and tonal balance was maintained
throughout, demonstrating both
subtle and bold harmonic intri-cacies.
Complex rhythmical pat-terns
were executed with outstand-ing
precision.
A more formal format might
have been expected. At times the
informality detracted from the
more serious quality of the music,
i.e. the piccolo player's cross-legged
disinterest during Handel's "Con-certo
Grosso." Generally, the cas-ual
approach created a congenial,
sympathetic rapport between aud-ience
and musicians. This, in turn,
evoked from the listeners a higher
degree of aesthetic involvement in
the music as it was being perform-ed.
Dr. Frank Bencriscutto conducted
and moderated the concert, which
opened with the "Roman Carnival"
by the early nineteenth century
realist Berlioz. This energetic mu-sical
painting was highlighted by
the very capable English horn solo
work of Miss Philis Blood and the
lively interplay of the various in-strumental
sections. Rhythmic com-plexities,
instrumental interplay,
and dramatic contrasts made Hart-ley's
"Rondo for Winds and Per-cussion"
an exciting and stimulat-ing
experience.
The thematic variation of con-temporary
composer Morton Gould
and the pure, relaxing melodic sim-plicity
of Gian Carlo Menotti kept
the well-varied presentation at an
untiring pace. Minor raggedness
in the accompaniment did not de-tract
from the obvious mechanical
proficiency of the clarinet trio in
Handel's "Concerto Grosso." The
majesty one expects in a compo-sition
by Bach pervaded the per-formance
of "If Thou Be Near,"
built on a firm, rich foundation of
low brass.
Music in a lighter vein was also
well represented. Clarinetist Peter
Vollmers displayed a fine baritone
voice—in spite of the overzealous
band accompaniment—on Bencris-cutto's
arrangement of "September
Song." The performance of the
"Sound of Music Medley" caught
the romantic spirit of the song.
Marches of the traditional classi-cal,
and concert forms were spirit-edly
performed. Particularly stir-ring
was the "Marche Militaire
Francaise," which exhibited mech-anical
proficiency in all sections.
A highlight of the evening was
the conductor's composition, "Meta-morphosis"
— an instrumental re-counting
of the unfolding of a life.
Section one, "Childhood" captured
both the innocent beauty and play-fulness
of youth. Confusion, strug-gle,
and romance, depicted in
"Adolescence" led into the majesty
of "Maturity." This highly emo-tional
piece brought into clear
focus the musical competency of
both the composer-conductor and
the ensemble.

On Feb. 6, President Charles
De Gaulle gave a television report
to the French nation, covering the
entire range of domestic and for-eign
policy. This latest message
was noteworthy in that it was
couched in less Delphic language
than is sometimes the General's
wont. The speech was most re-markable,
however, in the conci-sion
with which the twin goals of
his policy were outlined in the
name of grandeur.
For the sake of political gran-deur,
De Gaulle would have France
assume the leadership of what he
sometimes calls "a Europe of na-tions"
capable of speaking as a
superpower, while for the sake of
moral grandeur, he would have
France complete the arduous pro-cess
of de-colonization by granting
Algeria its freedom.
Very shortly after the speech
was given, the OAS (Secret Army
Organization) reacted to the pro-posals
with increased violence. De
Gaulle, in turn, threatened to use
dictatorial powers against the rebel
group, a right granted him under
the new constitution written when
he assumed the presidency in 1958.
De Gaulle's chances of achieving
his goals are not by any means
An unusual exchange program
has been instituted by the United
States National Student Associa-tion
(NSA). Selected students will
spend a week studying, observing,
meeting students, and visiting at
Tougaloo Southern Christian Col-lege
in Mississippi.
Tougaloo is one of the few fully
accredited institutions of higher
education which Negroes can at-tend.
The college has always main-tained
an integrated faculty and
admissions policy, drawing most
of its 500 students from Mississippi.
auspicious. His political grandeur
may prove quite as difficult, if less
dramatically arduous, to attain than
his moral grandeur in Algeria. But
no one can complain that De Gaulle
lacks a policy or that he isn't
trying to realize it.
Since De Gaulle was so explicit
in his hopes and plans, we are
drawn to a close examination of
his message in the desire to glean
some indications of the events
which are going to transpire in the
days ahead.
Much was inferred which has
bearing on future negotiations for
nuclear disarmament. We must re-member
that De Gaulle hopes to
make France the only independent
nuclear power on the continent
west of Russia, thus gaining ascen-dancy
over other Western Euro-pean
lands.
Many allied generals and states-men
argue that this is folly, that
France can never hope to create a
sufficiently powerful striking force
to impress the USSR. At best its
deterrent value, obtained at vast
cost, would be limited to a counter-city
threat. (Sulzberger)
This all is an important factor
for President Kennedy's considera-tion
in his present efforts to man-euver
Russia into a corner on the

atmospheric question as he strives
for a breakthrough for an effective
nuclear test ban. (Dispatch)
The whole world also watches an-xiously
for the climax of the vio-lent
drama in Algeria as optimistic
possibilities present themselves for
an agreement between De Gaulle
and the FLN (Algerian party).
French government contacts with
the Moslem rebels have not been
officially acknowledged by either
side, but is is an open secret that
a cease-fire and an agreement
leading to independence await only
the resolution of certain details of
the accession of a million Euro-peans
of Algeria to citizenship in
the new state and the organization
and duration of a transitional re-gime.
(Times, Feb. 5)
The FLN has recently tempered
its proposals for complete inde-pendence
and has become more
sympathetic to the possibility of a
Franco-Algerian consortium inclu-sive
of Algerian autonomy. This
results out of their fear of being
excluded from the recently insti-tuted
Common Market. Algerian
high officials are becoming in-creasingly
aware that their free-dom
could easily result only in a
freedom to starve.
De Gaulle also seems to be try-ing
to force the hand of the FLN
by publicizing his intention to im-pose
his own solution on Algeria
if an agreement with the FLN is
not reached in the next few weeks.
His solution is based on a regroup-ment
of the French settlers along
the coast (a kind of temporary
partition) as a first step to bring-ing
many of them back to France,
and on a setting up of an Algerian
executive with a Muslim majority.
Looking into the future it has
been strongly hinted that, once the
Algerian problem is settled, Presi-dent
De Gaulle will dissolve the
National Assembly and call for new
elections to take advantage of the
wave of popularity he expects to
follow the end of the war.
Before such a grand outcome is
seen, however, I foresee many
headlines dealing with riots in
France instigated by yet another
force with vested interests—the
Communists.
This last week saw a "Red-pro-voked"
general strike in Paris
which is a precursor of more to
follow. The demonstration was held
under the guise of a protest for
more positive action against the
OAS (party of Algerian colons).
But the actual motivation for ag-gravating
the situation arises out
of a Communist desire for a full-scale
civil war. Their reasoning
sees Communism's own power en-hanced
relative to all of the other
forces, which would be thereby
weakened.

Bethel Theological Seminary is
approaching the completion of its
application for accreditation by
the American Association of Theo-logical
Schools.
Four years ago an application
was made for associate member-ship,
and since then the seminary
has been reviewed by three visit-ing
teams from the AATS. The
seminary at present has been re-quested
to complete the "long
form," one of the final steps to-ward
accreditation.
During the next academic year,
another team of members of the
Association will visit the campus
for a final examination, and the re-sult
will be announced in the spring
of 1963.
Seminary accreditation was not
attempted previously due to an
AATS ruling which required that
15% of the student body come
from an accredited college. As a
larger percentage than this came
from Bethel college, seminary ac-creditation
was dependent upon
that of the college.

Placement Help
The student affairs office is of-fering
a free teacher-placement
service to all qualified graduating
seniors and alumni. Those wishing
placement for the 1962-63 school
year must file reference and per-sonal
history forms with the office
by Mar. 1, 1962.
A legitimate B.A. degree and the
completion of prescribed courses
in education insure automatic cer-tification
to teach by the state of
Minnesota. Currently, the only po-sitions
offered are on the junior
and senior high levels.
The heaviest demands for teach-ers
are in the areas of English,
physics, chemistry, women's physi-cal
education and languages. Tra-ditionally,
first year teachers are
placed outside the Twin Cities area,
depending on the applicant's major
field.
Students not planning to go dir-ectly
into teaching after gradua-tion
are also encouraged to file
references and credentials with the
student affairs office.
The current National Defense
graduate fellowships brochure is
now available in the student affairs
office to graduating seniors inter-ested
in scholarships for graduate
study.
Listed by areas of study and by
schools, the scholarships are usu-ally
awarded for three years, the
stipend increasing with each year.
Students should apply directly to
the schools by Mar. 6 for awards
which will be announced by Mar.
20, 1962.

cause man is a finite being who is
capable of spirituality. As a spirit-ual
being, he seeks to find the
meaning of life, but because of his
finiteness every meaning he finds
is threatened. This struggle for
meaning gives rise to anxiety which
in turn gives rise to sin.
Man is kept in this paradox—
this dialectic—between his finite
existence and his infinite capabili-ties.
His anxiety arises out of the
paradox. "Anxiety is the inevitable
concomitant of the paradox of
freedom and finiteness in which
man is involved. Anxiety is the in-ternal
pre-condition of sin. It is the
inevitable spiritual state of man
standing in the paradoxical situa-tion
of freedom and finiteness. An-xiety
is the internal description of
the state of temptation."
To overcome this state of an-xiety,
man can react in two ways,
both of which are sinful. He may
sin into carnal sensuality, or he
may assert himself in pride. In his
pride, he refuses to recognize his
finiteness and claims for himself
that which belongs to God alone.
This arrogant self-assertion in
which he claims infinite and spirit-ual
worth is sin.
Niebuhr recognizes three kinds
of pride: pride of knowledge, pride
of power, and moral pride. Each
of these are self-assertions of

E. Schultz Announces
Honor Student List
Eugene Johnson. This is the first
time a project of this nature has
been attempted by Bethel's art de-partment.
The classes will be divided into
four groups: pre-school, ages 6-8,
ages 9-11, and junior high age. The
14 students from the arts course
who will be participating as in-structors
will have an opportunity
to work with each of the age
groups.
The honor roll for first semester,
1961-62, was announced last week
by Edna Schultz, acting registrar.
According to Miss Schultz, each
student on the list has been carry-ing
at least twelve academic cred-its.
Earning "A" honors are Robert
Beckstrom, Sharon Dickau, June
ON REALITY
What is reality?—
That thing which
Haggard humanity grasps
As its focal point.
Does it really exist?—
Or is it just a temporary
Flash in the great
Cosmos of eternity.
Some will say,
"Fact, that is reality."
But I ask, "What is fact?—
But yesterday's theory,
Tomorrow's fallacy?"
Others will say,
"Life, that surely is reality.",
But I again ask, "What is
life?—
Merely a series of beginnings
And ends and meaningless mo-tion."

Democracy Threatened by Interference
Of Military Leadership in Policy-making
by Barbara Carlson
The "Little Gallery" Coffee Shop
has presented, in past months,
many fine exhibits. They have
been enjoyed by the casual observer
as well as the art connoisseur.
However, in my estimation, the
current exhibit is the most out-standing
to date. The artist is
Keith Havens, whose schooling in-cluded
The Minneapolis School of
Art.
Spending his summers in nor-thern
Minnesota drawing and
painting the rock formations, rush-ing
streams, and "standing dead"
of the forests, Mr. Havens makes
careful study of the basic elements
in nature. But he is not bound by
a traditional representation of na-ture.
Apart from definite symbolic
associations, his subjects stand as
extraordinary compositions in
themselves.
I believe his attention to the
fundamental forms is clearly mani-fested
in his work. There is a cer-tain
order and completeness which
shows to advantage his profound
ability to capture these compon-ents
of our perfectly created uni-verse
in oil paint and charcoal. This
feeling emanates from his paint-ings
by his use of constructed
shapes and rhythm of movement.
The intregal parts of his paintings
have a vibrancy and rhythm in
themselves while working together
to achieve a total effect as in his
"Silent Transmutation." (see a-bove)
In this painting there is a sense
of inward pressure exerted by rock
formations. At the same time, the
painting possesses the feeling of
growth and expansion which is in
direct relation to his subject's char-acteristics.
By his mere choice of
titles, his awareness of this con-stantly
changing nature is appar-ent.
Keith Haven's charcoal drawings
do not lack any of the excitement
and uniqueness of his oil paintings.
His deft handling of value rela-tionships
adds to the already inter-esting
compositions in line and
shape.
In the coming months, we have
much to look forward to, if this
showing is any indication of future
exhibits at Bethel.

Elsewhere in this issue, Gary
Scull writes about the problems
France has with Algeria. From
watching France agonize through
these crises, some lessons can be
learned by Western democracies.
Foremost among these lessons is
one which comes at an opportune
time for the United States. It is
this: a democracy cannot permit
the military to fashion its basic
policies.
Look at France! Just when its
elected president needs cool nerves
and steady, very strong hand to
end the civil war, many in his mili-tary
staff begin subversive action
against him. With bombs explod-ing
from the Sahara to Paris, with

Writing Award
To Be Given
The Robert Campbell Writing
Award, given annually to those stu-dents
who have had outstanding
material published during the cur-rent
year, is being awarded for
the second consecutive year. The
winner will receive $50, and the
runner-up will receive $25.
Any material published in maga-zines,
newspapers, Sunday School
pamphlets, etc., before April 16,
1962, will be considered. Any un-published
material written by a
student should be submitted for
publication now, or as soon as pos-sible,
as the published material
itself must be received by the Eng-lish
department by April 16.
The original purpose of the a-ward,
as set up by Robert Camp-bell,
was to encourage the writing
of Christian literature for publica-tion
in secular and Christian per-iodicals.

riots sweeping innocents to their
death, with political strikes threat-ened
by the temporary union of
Catholic and Communist labor un-ions,
the head of state supported
by a strong majority in the Na-tional
Assembly cannot be sure he
can rely on his final source of
power—the army.
Of course, one need not shed
tears for De Gauule. Tears should
be saved for the people of France.
De Gaulle came to power in 1958
because the army had told the
government that it was De Gaulle
or revolution. De Gaulle played his
part in letting the military have
its way. Now he finds that gener-als
once successful in politics are
likely to play the game again.
The lesson should be clear. When
the military becomes the master
instead of the servant, power gravi-tates
from the democratically elect-ed
officials to that section of the
officer class which can act boldly
and temporally count on the disci-pline
it has created in the rank and
file. Presidents, legislators and
judges do not pack guns. Generals
not only do, but their subordinates
do also.
Americans would do well to
think on France as they wonder if
General Walker should have been
disciplined by the Pentagon. If
they do, they will applaud the de-cision
that helped send the General
back to try for legal power at the
ballot box in Texas.
From Napoleon to De Gaulle by
way of a score or more corpses
of democracies, we have seen that
however necessary the military is,
it is a potential threat to demo-cratic
government. Therefore,
democracies must make the mili-tary
as politically neutral as pos-sible.
High military officers must be
kept strictly subordinated to the
commander-in-chief, who is alone
finally responsible to the people
and Congress, for whom he consti-tutionally
acts. When officers
speak, write and educate the troops
they must do it as the scrupulously
loyal servants of an acknowledged
superior.
But, some protest, do not offi-cers
have freedom of speech ? The
answer ought to be clear! As offi-cers,
no! No more than does the
private who stands in the ranks.
Where in annals of military his-tory
have officers taught that
military personnel can debate
points of policy ? Imagine the sit-uation
when "Sad Sack" contends
that at this time the order to
charge is ill advised. An officer
answers such free speech with im-mediate
force, if necessary.
If the officer must speak, he can
resign. Then let him try for power
in ways that befit democracy.

Bethel Drops
Northland
Game, 56-65
An eight-minute scoring drought
plus the hot hand of Jack Povaser
and the all-around play of Frank
Hunter spelled defeat for Bethel
Tuesday night as the Royals were
submerged 65-56 by the Northland
Lumberjacks. The win extended
Northland's league-leading Badger-
Gopher conference mark to 8-0
while the Royals dropped below
.500 at 3-4.
It looked as if Bethel might get
the breaks for a change when Po-vaser,
8th in the nation with a 29-
point average, incurred his third
foul with 9:45 left in the first half.
Bethel seemingly didn't want the
breaks however, as they were
guilty of numerous violations and
defensive lapses. The 'Jacks went
to the dressing room with a 38-35
halftime lead, Povaser counting 21
of their first half points including
10 of 14 attempts from the field.
The Royals came on strong at
the beginning of the second half,
and two quick baskets by Dan
Westerlund finally tied the score
at 44 with 14:10 remaining. This
was to be the Royal's last point
until Westerlund would score again
with 6:13 remaining.
It was the old story of not
enough height combined with cold
shooting. Phil Bolinder and Jan
Kolbrek both rebounded well, but
it simply was not enough against
the 6'7" Hunter and 6'4 Tom Fri-zell.
Hunter was also a terror on
defense as he bocked at least seven
shots from close range in the sec-ond
half.
Povaser led all scorers with 27
points, while Hunter added 19 for
the winners. Bajuniemi played an
outstanding game and led Bethel
scoring with 24 points while Wes-terlund
collected 17. Northland
shot 41 % from the field while
Bethel managed only 22 of 69 shots
for 32%.
The Fighting Muskie skyscrapers
of Lakeland's Bob Griggas proved
to be too much for the Bethel
Royals as the Wisconsin school
upped their Badger-Gopher record
to 6-1 with a 107-92 win last Fri-day.
The likes of 6'10" Wes Seyller,
6'7" Dean Sandifer, and 6'6 Em-ery
Holbert were too much for the
scrappy but short Bethelites.
Again, however, it was 5'11"
John Bell who led the scoring for
the winners with 21 points. Bell
tallied 31 in the first meeting of
the schools, won by Lakeland 90-
79. Seyller tallied 19 while San-difer
and Sammy Forrest each col-lected
16. Dan Westerlund led all
scorers with 24 points, while Jan
Kolbrek poured through 21.

The intramural program contin-ues
to buzz with activity as the
basketball program enters its last
three rounds of competition with
volleyball, ping-pong, and badmin-ton
to follow immediately.
The basketball games of Feb.
5-9 produced some unique happen-ings
including a 38-point effort by
Coach Gerald (machine-gun) Healy
in a losing effort. This is the high
individual effort for the season.
The seminary continued its spot-less
record with a 56-35 win over
the under-manned Dukes. Howie
Rekstad led the winners with 20
points. The Counts nipped Curt
Hallstrom's Squires 49-48 with
Dave Cox hitting 21.
Fuzzy Mooney's Pages scored
their first win in three years by
rolling over the Faculty 62-50 de-spite
Coach Healy's efforts. Lyle

The second effort turned out less

Since there are no Beadle or Northwestern games to reflect upon,
the column this time will be a rather unorganized polyglot of fact,
opinions, and other material guaranteed to occupy space.
The between-semester ski trip was a sliding success . . . the group
stayed at the Salem Baptist Church in Ashland, Wis., and some of
the group participated in the Sunday evening service . . . a total of
about 35 students and faculty members endured the jolting journey in
the school bus and two private cars . . . one of the cars did have over-drive
according to Coach Glader . . . Glader also reports that there
were many broken skis but no broken bones . . . as the business office
breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking ahead to the golf season we find that Don Mattson and
James (Higsby) Hultgren, two of Coach Healy s top prospects, are
academically ineligible—but we still have Denny Johnson!
The wrestling team is also having eligibility problems in the persons
of Bob Baffa and Mike Miller ... which is all too bad but what else
can you expect in a low-pressure athletic program ? They lost at River
Falls Feb. 9 after giving Macalester B a rough go of it the previous
week, before losing a close one ... Paul Sloan, Paul Anderson, and Miller
were victorious in the Mac meet.
The B basketball team is also having its problems which started
Jan. 18 with a 53-27 defeat from Macalester ... a rebound against Min-nesota
Bible College produced a 51-39 win with Roger Olson's 11 points
being high ... a combination of Northi,vestern's A and B squads was
sufficient to inflict a 52-47 setback on Coach Glader's charges and the
losing habit continued with a 74-64 loss from Minnesota School of
Business ... Dan Travaille, a last-minute addition to the squad, scored
14 while Bruce Erickson had 13.
Bethel Joins Fraternity ■
Sprinkel Named Prexy
by Rick McNamara
A fraternity ? At Bethel ? Be-lieve-
it-or-not, it has happened.
Bethel College recently became the
126th school to join the Sigma
Delta Psi National Athletic Fra-ternity.
The Bethel chapter, designated
as Epsilon Beta, awarded five hon-orary
memberships to establish a
foundation for the organization.
President of the local chapter is
Eugene Sprinkel, with Owen Hal-leen
as vice-president, Jerry Healy
as secretary-treasurer, Gene Glader
as faculty patron, and Phillip Carl-son
as the "fifth member."
Active membership is composed
of those who possess the necessary
all-around athletic skill to pass the
14 rigid tests. The 15th require-ment
is a scholastic standing which
would enable the person to be eli-gible
for varsity competition.
Glader reports that the chapter
is planning a "day" sometime in
February or March for those in-terested
in attempting the skill
tests. As an indication of the dif-ficulty
of the requirements, Glader
pointed out that the University of
Minnesota chapter has passed only
an average of two per year since
their group was established in
1914. Other Minnesota schools with
chapters include Macalester, Con-cordia,
and St. Olaf.
Glader feels that the chapter
will stimulate and improve the
physical fitness level of both fac-ulty
members and students. He
feels that it "presents a well-estab-lished
set of norms in various skills
which makes it possible for all to
see where they stand in relation to
others in athletic ability and over-all
physical fitness."
In addition to the special days
set aside for testing, Glader, Hal-leen,
and Healy will also pass an
individual on any specific test at
any time previous arrangements
are made.
